< Introduction > Something seems to exist but we cannot perceive it. When it is great, we usually can grasp or touch it. How about galaxy? It is too colossal to be tangible. Exploring the antonym of greatness is not a cinch either. When wind and rain erode a stone, it turns smaller and smaller until it disappears. While it is gone, it is invisible. This matter is not profound at all and it leaves us wanting more. Horizonomics (情感平線學/情平學) is kind of a study of it. We are for sure capable of solving many puzzles provided they are between the two extremes. Horizonomics is a study in between psychology and philosophy. A great deal of people care about their feelings and they like to discuss the big scheme of this globe when they chit chat. They attempt to reach for the meaning of life so as to disentangle the intangible and invisible knots. Our instinct of introspection directs us to clutch the composure that has to grapple with our enigmatic mind and our mind is peeved by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Everyone has his or her own individual horizon or level to
indicate composure and how far the horizon is doable is subject to different
person. Some people set their horizons at the apex but some set theirs
within their arm’s length. We could imagine a make-believe juxtaposition as
follows. A new Japanese immigrant coming to While studying horizonomics, we ought not to play down the objectives of it. First of all, analyzing what fundamental elements irk our passions is monumental. The source that encroaches calm feelings has to be sorted out and then we have an inkling of how to manage composure and how to keep passions steady and calm all the time. As a matter of course, we are not living in a never-never land but we should at least give it a whirl or a try. By and by, we are likely to ameliorate the schema of human mind and we have the ability to cure the people of long faces or distressed looks before they go through the offices of professionals. We must not mix a horizon up with a balance since there is no need to lay passions onto two ends of a scale, nor are there any places specially devised to load mirth or woe for weighting. Moreover, most passions are not absolute. When they are not in the genus of mirth, they cannot be headed off towards the domain of woe, wrath or mercy because human beings have an affluent sensation and a diversity of feelings associated with different degrees of impact out of the intrinsic as well as the extrinsic factors mentioned above. A part of horizonomics is to make it a point to measure to what extent our passions can augment. < Falsely used > However, people are quite taken with leverage over and over to pep themselves up when they are in low spirits. They also skillfully adjust the fulcrum so as to obtain a jaunty resolution. A point has to be iterated here that the fulcrum has no truck or nothing to do with the meaning behind horizonomics. Even if someone can really lay the same amount of mirth and woe onto the two ends of the scale separately within his or her mind, it does not mean to say that a horizon or calmness can be refined as a result. Yupsters, Yuppies-and-Hipsters, however, are reportedly argued as the people who successfully have a horizon at a right place by skillfully adjusting the fulcrum. Most of the Yupsters grow in single-parent families. When they grow up and have a family as well as some children, they treat their descendants with kid gloves or intensive care because they have experienced the hardship of a family supported by a single parent, being so thoughtful not to do anything that may cause offence to their children. On the other side of the coin, taking good care of the young is in dire need of a great deal of patience and time. This hinders the Yupsters from relaxing at bars or discos, forms a burden or kind of woe to them and plays the heavy role on the scale. It deserves a heavy role since bringing own children up is incumbent on every responsible parent, whereas kicking back or killing time at discos acts the light role on it since enjoying what they like is certainly a great mirth. We may not easily make head or tail of good luck or bad luck that the resistance against being cooped up with the kids pushes the Yupsters to create a wacky idea to budge their so-called fulcrum in order to appease their mix-up in mind. While the fulcrum is moving towards the heavy end, the end is going up automatically until both ends of the scale are in a state of balance. When this happens, the Yupsters are glad that their ideal horizon in mind can be tuned at last. What resolution makes the Yupsters stay in an ecstasy of delight is simply that they together with their babes hit or go to the discos listening to deafening rock music, beholding glaring neon illuminations and mimicking shaky motions. They also make such creative compromise hard to pick up on or criticize by garbling or mingling merry-making and nurturing simultaneously in order to abate weight of the heavy end and aggrandize the weight of the light end. The Yupsters are satisfied at the
expense of their tots’ hale and hearty condition. The short-term mirth is
not worthwhile because the damage caused on the children can be long-term.
The parents may regret how they wrongly adjusted the fulcrum to refine their
horizon and what they hurt on their kids. Eventually, they may also discover
that they do not ever accomplish any horizons and they still have the blues
or worries other than a calm. Anyone could try his
or her luck to bump into the Yupsters at Park
Slope, When the goner sees his wish accomplished, he may show a grin on his face denoting joy and comforting his mum that he does not regret any longer for the rest of his life. In return, the gammer is not so plaintive as before and is approaching her horizon, a state of calmness, even though his days are numbered. This way to set and achieve a horizon should be a lot better than just playing up the landslide victory in an election to overshadow the pathetic treatment in hospital. However, not few upset people still use the similarly makeshift arrangement to console themselves and think that they are successful to even things up. < Cometh the way to solve > An optimum horizon may not be necessarily able to achieve efficiently but it must be able to sustain any ordeals. When the task is achieved, somebody later on may find out some more optimum and feasible horizons that may go off or produce a greater composure. Even so, it does not mean that the originally optimum horizon is incorrect or even a band-aid. Actually, the value of the original one does still exist, particularly where no other better resolutions could be picked out at the moment when the sullen person was at sixes and sevens. Moreover, our life span seems always hasty and it is dumb to expect everyone to ponder each pesky matter over and over before making up his or her mind to carry out something. People should seek an appropriate horizon that takes timely effect, whether the effect is gigantic or trivial, rather than the most ideal one in the world. Over-indulging in finding the best is impractical, ridiculous and time-consuming whereas making an opportune decision at the critical moment is down-to-earth, priceless and timesaving. For good measure, no one is to be blamed for the decision as long as those involved are whole-hearted to realize the optimum horizon for the common good. In order to be calm, there are various and numerous horizons for us to encounter each day, hence seeking as well as realizing the most ideal one for each unique case amounts to crying for the moon. In short, being able to set and have one’s eye on a good horizon is obligatory and being able to approach or even reach for it is no mean feat. < Necessities > Among the multiple horizons or calmness, one is obsessive along with our whole life and that is survival. Every day, everybody needs to eat and drink for dear life, and need not think of chewing food in mouth as a hard job, except for some patients who need being nursed. However, the crux to hunt food in this highly competitive society prior to the voraciously gnawing action racks most people’s brains. Most foods are not gratis, and it is illegitimate and immoral to seize them by five-finger discounts or stealing behaviors. As a result, most people work daily and earn to reach for the survival horizon. When they do not feel empty, they are calm and ready for tomorrow’s dog’s life. Although the basic needs are fulfilled, the opportunity cost behind the survival horizon is not a smidgen. Some people may not engage in the field they wish to work for and they have got to sweat blood from day to day, not obtaining their original sense of achievement if they can make it big in another field. Moreover, those people at work find it hard to evade the interpersonal relations between employers and employees, implementing something they do not assent to as well as trying to flatter their boss to a certain extent; between colleagues and colleagues, impelling themselves to be in bed with each other in order not to be expelled and turn out misfits; and between staff and customers or clients, being patient listeners to the grumbles and complaints or even being unfortunately reprimanded in public. The collateral effects of keeping a job other than a career are negative every once in a while and the employees have to tough it out. Under such circumstance, they are surely ill at ease for the safety of their composure. In order to survive, meeting a single survival horizon is too vulnerable in this hideous planet. Human beings are not living in an intact greenhouse, hence the various menaces in forms of being small, great, acute or chronic expose us to unrest or lethal risks each day. Evil things do not often come singly. When it rains, it usually pours. We also have to confront the intrinsic factors mentioned very early from such general problems as slight toothache and stomachache to such heritable diseases as heart attack and AIDS (Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome). Such a great deal of challenges coerce us to reflect and solve round the clock for survival among others. Enduring alive and kicking precedes wishing to be successful in anything because a robust life is the foundation of all. Horizonomics conforms to the golden rule that endeavoring to embrace a complete composure is too covetous but fobbing too much of the intrinsic and extrinsic challenges off would render us out of sorts. When we reflect, we consider carefully what is imperiling or is likely to endanger our integrity and how to wreck or put the kibosh on it, in which integrity is the synthesis of both physical and mental respects involving some current things that can influence the future and vice versa. As people often reflect, they have progress. Thinking, calculating, predicting and solving problems are recommended ways of reflection as well as introspection. Therefore lifelong learning is always encouraged. We may sometimes have learnt more than we require or something that has nothing to do with our work but we still study further. This is just because we hold the congenital need of a sense of spiritual fulfillment in addition to material prosperity and alimentary satisfaction. Even monks would pursue a sense of worldwide peace and personal serenity. While our white teeth are for chewing, our grey matter is for cogitating. Achieved survival horizons and completed spiritual horizons are the prerequisites for composure. Nonetheless, one who has not gotten the aforesaid horizons can still have a pseudocomposure that usually and hopefully does not last for a long time. Our instinct drives us to react, reflect and then resolve in everyday life but the fuse of this mechanism would blow at times. The despair of something or someone such as an accidental death of a family member would cause people down in the dumps. When we are sad or frustrated, we have no any appetites for foods or even drinks. The edible and potable survival horizon seems like a piece of rice for a ravenous man, showing little importance or nothing at all. The pathetic person is nearly out cold and not active in the mood for any of his or her physical needs and spiritual fulfillment. The usual worries are suspended and the mentality cannot be sparkled by any new matters. The system or physical body left is only a fleshy vacuity except in the mind that is keeping and recalling the despair. In such situation, the one in misery is unusually calm. Such scene worries those people in the vicinity. < Our inner status > It is time to temper the concept that human passions are inborn, countless and complex. One does not have to go through training to acquire passions. Passions per se are neutral in nature until we project them as averse, bored, delighted, dissatisfied, excited, frustrated, flabbergasted, green-eyed, hesitated, humiliated, raged, regretted, scared, touched, worried or just mediocre feelings among others in the wake of reflection. Once we have reflected, we shall store the feelings unless we forget them someday. Before forgetting them, we may transform the feelings from ones to others as time goes by because we do reflect each day and the stored feelings thus will be subjected to being revised. Besides, however merry or woeful humans are, we do not chew the cud or keep thinking of about how we feel without stops under general circumstances. Simply explaining, weariness behooves human beings to turn in and put aside the diversity of passions for sound sleep. The sleep without nightmares is often regarded as sound or the most ideal state of recovering strength from tiredness. Practically explaining, wishing to continue a life does not permit us to indulge in a single facet of life and its passion or passions produced in this capricious society. Fortunately, we may be conscious that our mentality has not yet been fully utilized and there is so much room to cope with various facets, being used to managing tons of matters in a short while. Second, we are sometimes avaricious to want more fun and not reluctant to wind up remaining delighted for a joyful event just happened. The purpose of it is to start out holding another activity that may be much more cheerful. In a similar way, when we fail or despair, we are diverted by ourselves to expect a new chance or hope coming soon and glad to embrace a welcome respite from low spirits if we always have a belief that there must be light at the end of the tunnel. In reality, it is a stretch or difficult mission to mooch or ask for no flops at all in an entire life. We therefore should clench an affirmative and constructive attitude to encounter, resolve, predict and also prevent problems in lieu of being dilatory not to adapt to a novel situation and not to set up a dogged and healthy state of mind for continuing our precious and invaluable life. That voluntarily getting intoxicated swaps for temporarily forgetting upset is next to the fallible use of fulcrum. Those doing that will not obtain what they really hope for and will not be accepted or supported by those who have poise. Introspection Mirror: When you are happy, it seems very easy for you to smile or grin. However, when you are sad or disappointed each time, it is not spontaneous for you to cry, sob or wail immediately. Would you happen to know the reason or reasons for the different reactions? |
少年提示錄/Adolescents’
30 Reminders (1-10)
|
引言/Preface 前人或長輩的說話總可以為年輕的您給一點意見。 The senior are
always more sensitive to the direction of the coming wind. After listening to the radio program - 中醫專線 - hosted by Mr.
Chun Hung (秦鴻), a
registered Chinese herbal practitioner as well as a professor, on 15/2/08, I
was enlightened by him to understand more about the meaning of life. If you
are interested in the program, you can tune into Hong Kong Radio Five at
half past seven on each Friday’ s night. Of course, I would not know when he
would stop hosting the program out of any reason. He said that some people were very successful in terms of
career and wealth but they might not be the same when they passed away.
According to him, the people who are so glad and willing to be ordinary are
actually extraordinary. Moreover it was not easy to find someone who does
not mind living without a bright future or an affluent fortune. That was an epiphany to me. I am a wreck from the head to the
toes having nothing to tell about except for my written works and I would
like them to pass on. Hence I ought to keep writing and I expect the next
generation to share what I have written as the spirit advocated by Mr. Chun.
Whether I shall be extraordinary is not what I am worried about. Actually,
it is not the first time I have tried to write. The following contents are a
collection of various topics to edify the young. They are also the events of
my experiences. Every grown-up has his or her own experiences and analyses
but not many of them jotted down what had happened to them in a systematic
way. It does not mean that I am making an intact record of what has happened
to me and how I have construed this world. I just dig up what I have known
about the community and society as a whole with a purpose to remind
adolescents of behaving wisely, to remind parents of warning their children
and to remind anybody of understanding that something hurtful can be
prevented if we are more cautious in our daily lives. In reality, not few parents are exemplars processing verbal
and behavioral educations for their children every day in order to nurture
their next generations well. When their kids grow up, they will do the same
act to their own kids. It is hopefully a continuous way to impart the good
to the heirs. From another perspective to see this phenomenon, there is a
question. Why not make a collection of different views from different people
and let all readers worldwide to share, learn, resonate, complement and
retrospect? That is the reason why I write the reminders for all humans,
particularly the adolescents full of energy and puzzles. Last but not least, I for one believe that facing the reality
actively is a good way to survive and also a practical way to discover what
we have not known yet. I am terribly sorry to have written this preface in
English. Frankly I am not capable of typing Chinese characters. 《少年提示錄》 1. 身家超過千億港元的香港富豪，如：李嘉誠及李兆基，即使已踏入退休之齡很久(一般情況下，六十五歲人士可退休)，但是仍然堅持每天上班，風雨不改，更無懼近日的嚴寒天氣(這個月來氣溫徘徊攝氏七至十四度)，當中的工作精神，非常投入，也充滿熱誠，實在可給予我們一股強大的推動力。我們上學及上班時候，不少人在我們旁邊擦身而過，共同努力的人，為數不少，你又怎能躲懶呢？快快起床吧!
2. 請你把以下數字讀一遍：九、六、八、二、五、七，然後，雙眼望着另一方向，把剛才讀過的數字由後至前，倒敍再讀一遍。你的記憶力真…… 3. 有些人有儲蓄的習慣，例如：儲蓄金錢、玩具、郵票……等等，但是人們可否儲蓄時間呢？我本人相信是可以的，簡單一點說，若果你能夠保持健康的身體，你就能夠活得長久一點，亦即是說，你比那些不懂得珍惜健康的人長壽，當你的生命長久，就能做你未完成的事，多麼好啊!至於學問，可否同樣地儲蓄呢？學問越豐富，比起那些不懂得儲蓄學問的人有甚麼優勝之處呢？ 4. 有些事情不及早去處理，就會令後果變得非常嚴重，因此，果斷的做法往往省卻不少煩惱，甚至不必要的遺憾，例如：你正在巴士站排隊，並站在一個較前的位置，可惜，你不慎把硬幣從錢包漏出，還眼巴巴看見硬幣滾在地上，心想：離開有利位置去拾回硬幣，恐怕其他人會佔據本身良好位置，但是，不去拾回自己的金錢，留給其他人取去，亦不是明智之選；既然如此，何不果斷英明，立即用腳把還未滾得老遠的硬幣踏停呢？這是需要清醒的頭腦配合敏捷的身手才行。同樣，當你知道學業成績開始低落時，你實在還有很多時間去亡羊補牢的。 5. 只有傻瓜才會忽略最有利位置。我常在地下鐵路火車站發現一個情況，有些人總愛讓其他乘客先進入車廂，然後才斯斯然隨後，目的就是當火車到達下一個車站要開啟閘門時，後隨者就能夠率先地步出車廂，快人一步。同樣，你站得越高，所能看到的範圍就越廣，試想想：你站在高塔上，看見在迷宮內拚命地尋找出口的人，不是蠻有趣嗎？ 6. 你的老師說有人可從地面跳上十樓，回到家裏，你的哥哥又說有人可從地面跳上十樓，不久，電話響起，你的朋友都告訴你有人可從地面跳上十樓，原本你對這消息毫不相信，但是到了現在，你對自己的信心開始動搖，甚至相信的確有人可從地面跳上十樓。問題出現了，為何自己會相信如此荒謬的事情呢？這就是「羊群心理」。大多數人做的事，往往都被認為正確的，或者不應該去改變的，因此，即使你萬般不願意去相信或者很想去改變現狀，你最後都會改變初衷，漸漸接受及維持現有的境況，可謂「人云亦云」。當你嗅到燒焦味道，但察覺到身邊的人群，既不查個明白，又不收拾離場，那你就不敢發起任何行動，更不想私自離開，仍然堅持跟隨大多數人的做法，即是不作聲色，期待總有人率先發言，然後再附和，這種羊群心理的不良作用，平白燒燬了不少寶貴的生命。蠢！ 7. 當你覺得自己很卑微或很困擾的時候，就認定誰在這時願意幫忙你的，誰就是大恩人，並立下承諾，他日當他或她遇到困難時，必定赴湯蹈火，盡力幫忙，可惜，所謂大恩人，只不過是想利用你的低微位置。在一間機構內，一些從不被人看重的職位，例如：清潔工人、保安員和信差，他們往往比起那些位高權重的經理，知得更多，看得更遠，因此，不少刺探軍情的人，都喜歡籠絡或利誘職位低微的人，目的是從中發掘重要消息，壯大自己。若果你很早或很容易跟其他人交心，隨便把心事或者重要消息講給別人知道，一切後果自負，與人無尤。 8. 每次看電視時，你的眼睛會否留意劇中角色背後的道具呢？ 當你家中沒有人說話時，你可曾留心聽過掛牆鐘所發出的每秒鐘聲呢？ 若果你被矇着眼睛吃東西，你能夠單靠鼻子嗅出味道來嗎？ 你的舌頭能夠分辨出熟透了的綠豆及紅豆的味道嗎？ 你可否只用手指摸得出清水與牛奶的不同質地？ 你的頭腦有否為你爭取及堅持自己的權益呢？舉一個例：你付了一個月的午餐費用，但有人無故扣減你其中一日的午餐，你會由得他而自掏腰包另外買一個飯盒給自己嗎？我們在日常生活之中，時常靈活地運用自己的感官功能，但是，每當去到自己的權益時，就變得笨手笨腳，何解呢？皆因我們從小沒有養成多動腦筋的習慣，更不清楚自己切身的利益，只求表面的享受，以為沒有一頓午餐，乾脆買一個飯盒便了事，這種處事方針實在要不得。尊嚴、權利和責任都會永遠跟隨我們一生一世。 9. 某天，你去郊外踏單車，到了傍晚時分，帶着疲倦的身軀回家，除了好好休息外，你還打算計出這一天的開支金額，把交通費、早餐、午餐、晚餐及沖曬相片費用，統統加合起來，以為真的花費了不少，可惜，你真的勞纍了，頭腦也不清醒，更講不上精打細算，你原來在不出戶外活動的日子，就不用吃早餐、午餐和晚餐嗎？若是你每天都吃足三餐，為何你又要把那三餐的費用撥入你那天戶外活動的開支裏呢？另外，你以為你有十天春節假期嗎(由星期二至下一個星期五)？請不要忘記在星期六、日的日子，你是毋須上學的，因此，你只能說你有連續十天的春節假期，淨假期其實是八天罷了。淨：總數量減去部份數量的最後結果。 10. 人們的形象往往阻礙正確的判斷。你相信當老師的人，必定有學識、有品格，可惜，從香港的新聞消息，時有所聞，連校長也會犯上非禮罪。我們一面倒相信某人或某事，而從不懷疑，是很錯的做法，表面的包裝功夫，誰都做得到，有些人還能做得好，若果你只相信自己的眼睛，而不花心思去看透深層的本質，你對某人某事的錯誤想法就越來越牢固了。難道街上任何一個男子向你自稱是警察，你就任由他搜查你的錢包、身份証明文件及身體私處嗎？多麼荒謬啊！ |

It is time for us to look at
the question whose answer can be found from the above tables. However there
are some steps we have to follow. When you understand the sequence of the steps,
you do not need to rely on the formats of the tables above. The question is as follows: 31
+ … + 3y = 120 What is the value of y of the
above equation? That is, what is to the power of the last base of 3? Solution: Step 1 (3 is the base of the question) 120
¸ 3 = 40 Hence,
120 = 3 ´ 40 Step 2 (there are two ways) 40
- 1 = 39 or, M
´ 3 + 3 = 120 Hence,
M = (120 - 3) ¸ 3 = 39 Step 3 (refer the numbers
back to the equations) 39
¸ 3 = 13 Hence,
39 = 3 ´ 13 The real forms of the equations
are as follows: 31
+ … + 3y -1 = 39 = 3 ´ 13 31
+ … + 3y = 120 = 3 ´ 40 The
difference between 40 and 13 is 27 as shown in Table Two. As you know, 27 =
33 If you do not know it, you
can use a calculator to help you. Step 4 (find out the answer) 31
+ … + 3y = 120 is equal to 31 + … + 34 =
120 The
answer of y is 4 rather than 3. As you see, 34 follow 33. Meanwhile,
we look at 5 + … + 5? = 780 that is 5 + … +
5y = 780 We try to go through the same
steps as above but the details would be omitted. 780
¸ 5 = 156 156
- 1 = 155 155
= 5 ´ 31 Hence, 5
+ … + 5y -1 = 5 ´ 31 and
5 + … + 5y = 5 ´ 156 The
difference between 156 and 31 is 125. As you know, 125 = 53 Hence,
5 + … + 5y = 780 is equal to 5 + … + 54
= 780 The answer of y is 4. Now I have a question for
you. When you get the answer, please tell me as soon as possible. The
question is as follows: 7 + 72 + … 7y
= 19607 What
is the value of y? |

Sum Of The Same Bases To The Power Of
Cardinal Numbers Following
the above article namely To The Power Of What, it is
time for us to pay attention to the former, that is, 5
+ 52 + 53 + 54 + … 510 = ? Before
we go to simplify the way to figure out the answer, we should take a look at
some numbers below.
Now
it is easy to acquire a formula to calculate the sum of a series of the same base to the power of
cardinal numbers. It at least saves two thirds of the total amount of time
required. Of course, a calculator is still needed. In order to let everybody
understand how it operates, it is necessary to work on an example together.
You can take it as a demonstration. The question is as follows: 51
+ 52 + … + 510 = ? Solution: According to the formula acquired above, we have
the following steps 510-2(52 + 6) + (51
+ 52 + 53 + 54 + 55 + 56
+ 57) 58(52
+ 6) + 55(52 + 6) + (51 + 52 + 53
+ 54) 58(52
+ 6) + 55(52 + 6) + 52(52 + 6) +
51 (52 + 6)(58 + 55 + 52) + 5 (factorization is involved here) It
is the short cut to reckon the answer. When
we take a closer look, we can refine a detailed formula. Let
the base of 5 be the alphabet of b. Let
the maximum of power be the alphabet of y. Therefore by-2(b2
+ b+1) + (b1 + b2 + … + by-3) is
equal to by-2(b2
+ b+1) + by-3-2(b2 + b+1) + (b1
+ b2 + … + by-3-3) as long as there are more than
three items in the last bracket. However
if there are just two items or less in the last bracket, no more shorter
forms can be done. In
these cases, we have (b2
+ b+1)(by-2 + by-3-2 + by-3-3-2) + b1
+ b2 or (b2
+ b+1)(by-2 + by-3-2 + by-3-3-2) + b1 depending
on the value of y. Meanwhile
I have a question for you. 6
+ 62 + 63 + 64 + 65 + 66
+67 + 68
+ 69 + 610 = ? Is
it a simple sum? |

Economics:
Real and Nominal A baker bakes a cake and sells it. The ingredients of it include flour, eggs and sugar whose costs are $10, $8 and $6 respectively. In order to make it simple, we only consider the costs of the ingredients. After making the cake, he sells it at $30 and earns the profit of $6. However, the cost increases owing to the prices of imported goods go up. The costs of flour, eggs and sugar are increased to $15, $12 and $9 respectively. Under such conditions, the baker has to sell the cake with the same quality at $45 and earns the profit of $9. Now we have to consider some factors seriously. First, by how much percentage does the cost increase? Second, does the baker produce more than when the cost does not go up yet? Third, does the baker earn more in terms of per cent (%) after adjusting the selling price? Reading the questions, we try to answer them one by one. First of all, we look at some calculations. (15 - 10) ¸ 10 = 50 % (flour) (12 - 8) ¸ 8 = 50 % (eggs) (9 - 6) ¸ 6 = 50 % (sugar) It is seen that the percentage of increased cost is the same. Second, the baker still produces one cake before and after the cost has changed. Third, the baker earns the same per cent whatever the selling price is. (30 - 24) ¸ 24 = 25 % (10 + 8 + 6 = 24 = cost before change) (45 - 36) ¸ 36 = 25 % (15 + 12 + 9 = 36 = cost after change) The key here is the same percentage going up in response to the changes of prices of the imported goods. When the prices of imports go up, the cost goes up too. The baker transfers the increased cost on the buyer of the cake without changing the percentage of profit. If you just look at the difference between $30 and $45, you may have an illusion that the baker has earned more than before. In fact, the number of product and the percentage of profit are the same. Thus we should not only notice the selling prices when we judge whether any businessman is better or worse off. Of course, the nominal profits of $6 and $9 are obviously different. However, the real percentage changes are the same as calculated above. If you heard the term of inflation, you should be able to understand the term of depreciation. In reality, not few people have earned more than before but they have the same or even the worse buying power because of inflation. This is simply because the nominal face value of money has depreciated at the same period of time more or less. How to calculate our real money or real production is the point of this article. There are two questions for us to go through the concepts of “real” and “nominal”. Question One: Nominal Output: ? Real output: +2% Inflation rate: +5% Solution: Let the nominal output be x Hence real output is x ¸ 1.05 (It is divided by the inflation rate.) Remarks: +5% = 105% = 1.05 (x ¸ 1.05 - 100*) ¸ 100 = 2 ¸ 100 100* here is the standard of the base year x ¸ 1.05 - 100 = 2 x ¸ 1.05 = 102 Remarks: +2% = 102 = 100* + 2 x = 1.05 ´ 102 = 107.1 = Nominal Output (107.1 - 100) ¸ 100 ´ 100% = 7.1% increase It is seen that 7.1% is greater than 2%. The real output change is far smaller than nominal output change. We can apply this concept to our real life. If you think that the increased GDP must make you better off, you are wrong. Question Two: Nominal Output: +6% Real Output: +3% Inflation rate: ? Solution: Let the amount of nominal output be x (x - 100*) ¸ 100 = 6 ¸ 100 100* here is the standard of the base year (meaning the nominal output) Therefore x = 106 and Real Output = 106 ¸ y where y is the inflation rate (106 ¸ y - 100*) ¸ 100 = 3 ¸ 100 100* here is the standard of the base year (meaning the real output) 106 ¸ y - 100 = 3 Therefore y = 106 ¸ 103 = 1.0291 = 102.91% The inflation rate is 2.91 %. (+2.91%) The nominal output percentage is double of the real output percentage but the inflation rate is only smaller than the real output percentage by a little extent. |
